Today, Alaina of Live Creating Yourself is sharing her beautiful and inspired dream home with us. Alaina is such a doll- a truly positive person with infectious energy and she is super stylish to boot. Enjoy!

When Paloma asked me to contribute my dream home to her series, I knew the task would be exciting but also a challenge. You see, my taste in interiors changes daily; I love bright color as much I love an all-white room. I daydream of living in a cozy Cape Cod beach house, a city loft, and a spacious ranch in California. So instead choosing a single room to represent what I’d want my dream house to look like, I considered trends and characteristics I’d like it to have.

So here it is! A mashed-up version of the following:

LIVING ROOM

My dream living room would include:

• insanely high ceilings

• natural wood accents – support beams are preferable

• oversized windows so the space is bright on the dreariest of days

• an abundance of seating and end tables for game night with friends

• a George Smith rolled-arm couch in yellow

• extra-large art littered about the walls

• plants (hoping I’ve figured out how to keep them alive by then)

KITCHEN

My ideal kitchen would include:

• jaw-dropping pendant lights

• an antique farmhouse table

• white cabinets and open shelving

• carrera marble countertops – red wine spills be damned!

• a fully-equipped espresso station

• a vast collection of Mauviel copper pots hanging on display

WORK SPACE

My dream office would include:

• oversized work tables

• shelves overflowing with art supplies and books

• a combination of sleek contemporary pieces and vintage finds

• like all of the other rooms in the house, my ideal home office would include a view and plenty of natural light

I wish I could ‘like’ other comments because I agree- all around gorgeous! I love the elements you’ve decided to include in your rooms. I’m going to buy fresh flowers for my bedroom tonight just to be able to cross something off this perfect list.

Hey, i was visiting this blog, and i like your job. My english is bad and i’m sorry. I’m an argentinian, and i want to tell that i’m sharing one of your images that i found, it’s about one of your quotes. Was very nice find it.If you don’t want to that im share your images you have to tell me, and it will be deleted.Well. I hope you like my idea because i like to share things like this.Well, i’m going to back to this site. See you soon.

If this was Facebook, I would “Like” every single picture. Those are really wonderful choices, Alaina. I like it that you’re a fan of woods and the color white. Those two would make a really good combination. This is a refined mash up of home interiors. I’m sure Ms. Paloma enjoyed having you and your dream home in her wonderful series.
